Iraqi Kurds Thank The U.S. for Liberation in New TV ads
Remember this photo?
It appears that now all of America will get a chance to hear “the other side of the story.”
Read the inspirational email I just received from Move America Forward:
Starting Wednesday, a major national television ad campaign will begin that features Iraqi Kurds thanking the United States for liberating them from Saddam Hussein.
This is the message that has not been reported by the old-line media: the people of Iraq are happy that Saddam is gone and they want to say “Thank You” to America.
The Kurdish region of Iraq is in the northern portion of that nation. Iraqi Kurdistan has been operating with a democracy for more than 10 years (their safety provided by 10-years of air cover by U.S. and British jets in the “No Fly Zone” in Iraq).
Please — go watch these ads. The first one, “Thank You America” is the ad you will be seeing beginning on the Fox News Channel (running nationwide).
And make sure you show this to everyone you know.
Each time I’ve seen this ad I’ve been nearly brought to tears, seeing these people survive the murderous regime of Saddam Hussein and showing such warm and sincere appreciation for the United States.
Go watch the ads right now: TheOtherIraq.com
And email the Iraqi Kurds and let them know how much we appreciate this ad campaign. E-Mail: info@TheOtherIraq.com
Click on the ads. Take a look. It is the good side of Iraq that the media is not reporting.
I recently received this email from them:
The Other Iraq Campaign team would like to thank you, on behalf of the people of the Kurdistan Region in Iraq, for taking the time to send us your comments. Your thoughts are both welcomed and appreciated.
We thought you may be interested to know that on 26 October 2005, just prior to the campaign launch, Masoud Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region, met with President Bush and said:
“The United States has never wavered in its quest to help Iraqis build a democracy that rewards compromise and consensus. The ever generous American people have paid a tragic price, the lives of their finest men and women, to advance the banner of freedom and democracy, a sacrifice for which we are profoundly grateful.”This is the first step in a wider campaign to tell the story of the Kurdistan Region in Iraq; we hope you continue to follow developments with interest. We urge you to share this good news story out of Iraq with your friends and colleagues.
You can also keep up to date with developments in the region by regularly viewing Kurdistan Development Corp. and Kurdistan Regional Government
Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

On behalf of the people of the Kurdistan Region in Iraq
This line is priceless to me: “The ever generous American people have paid a tragic price, the lives of their finest men and women.”
So as the libs, the media, and even Democrat Senators mouth off about how, “we are fighting an illegal war” and “the military can’t be trusted” and “Bush lied” — The President of Kurdistan calls the military our “finest men and women.”
Amazing that people on the other side of the world can see clearly that which some here are willfully blind to.

[...] Meanwhile, the Kurds in Iraq thank the US (wonderful video) for their democracy and liberation. The Cindy Sheehanites have begun their new campaign ad called “Leave My Child Alone” aimed at recruiters These patriots of the anti-war movement have a weird way of showing their support for the troops; they fight military recuiters and picket Army bases and VA hospitals.
